This Norwegian cheese is made under the Ski Queen brand from a mixture of cow and goat's milk. It has a unique, sweet flavor due to the way in which it is processed. The milk is cooked until the sugars in it have caramelized, giving the cheese its distinctive brown color and sweet flavor. The milk is then curded and pressed. This distinctive Norwegian "brown cheese" (brunost) became popular as a skiers' snack and thus the label "Ski Queen". It is widely popular among Scandinavian-Americans, and children especially are drawn to its sweet flavor.

I love this cheese. It has a caramel taste to it, and is somewhat sweet. It's really good to melt it on toast. It caramelizes and tastes really good. I also like to just eat it by the slice.

Great but not Ski Queen brand.

I have been hooked on getost since being introduced to it in Norway three years ago.
A note from igourmet:
Dear Steve,
We have never carried another brand of Gjetost. You would have received "Ski Queen" brand. Some of our cheese cutters leave the outer wrap on when cutting, others take the outer wrap off. Be assured that you will always receive this brand. If, for some reason, the brand changes in the future, we will update our site.

Rich, Sweet and Delicious

I have been eating this cheese almost once a week for over forty years now - It never disappoints.
Introduced as a kid by a friend who grew up in Norway. A special treat with a Barrel aged Belgian Quad - Think I'll open one now!
